    Right? I get that the Met Center was starting to show its age by the early 90's, but man Norm Greed, er Green really showed his true colors in moving the team out of Minnesota. And yes, i agree. I read somewhere that ironically the Vikings played their best football in a stadium meant for...

    Each time I see a Dallas Stars card, I die a little bit inside. Stars should have never left Minnesota

    Sometimes all you have to do is ask...

    Yeah I'm super excited about it . I did see on listed on ebay a couple years ago that was Autographed and graded (card and signature) and it was selling for 24k. Thankfully I won't have to lay out an auto payment but yeah it's probably the biggest buy of the year for me.

    So funny story behind this one. My wife's family is from NE Iowa. Maiden mame was Woodson, and her Dad's name was Richard. This guy was born in Oelwein, father in law was born in Hawkeye. They were less than a half hour apart, and less than 2 years apart in age. The ironies of life. Not sure if...

    Not even worth the cardboard it's printed on but of all of the regular non insert Diamond Kings from Donruss 82 to 91 run, this Craig Biggio is my absolute favorite.

    Have I got a story for you....

    That's so cool. Growing up in Minnesota at the time of the Twins two WS championships (9th grade and right after graduation for 91) Gladden is one of those guys, that keyed both runs. A few years ago to celebrate the 35th anniversary of 87 Gladden shared some of the home videos he took on plane...

    Post a pic of random sports or non-sport memorabilia you own thread

    Thanks. There was a guy who had sold me his digital camera that took floppy disks to hold the images and I had taken it to a game the year before and got a nice shot of Richie Sexson. I had even went through the trouble of contacting MLB and trying to get a license. They told me that they had...

    Went to the Twins v Brewers game on Father's Day in 2004. At the Time I was obsessed with taking pictures at games and got this nice picture of Brewers two way player Brooks Kieschnick. A couple years later I sent it to a signing to get it for my auto collection. Would love to get Twins catcher...
